I don't qualify for the Jus Sanguis apply at the consulate type of citizenship. So I want to know if anybody has any data on the naturalisation route.

Situation:
My paternal great grandfather was an Italian citizen. My grandmother was born 2 years before he became a US citizen. So according to the rules my grandmother was a citizen. However, she gave birth to my father in 1944 so she didn't pass citizenship on to my dad (since the law doesn't recognise births to a female before the 1948
Italian constitution).

As far as I can see I can only apply for naturalisation after living in Italy for 3 years.
I assume I will need to somehow posthumously register my grandmother's italian citizenship.

Anybody with any feedback?
